There are thousands of washed up leftists making a grand living off the government of canada: they are call the CBC. They can be avoided, but you always know they are there syphoning off tax dollars.
Great article. Thanks for posting!
Here's my take: When a biased, wealthy, publicitiy-seeking author/activist can successfully call into question the opinions of "climate experts", then said "scientific opinions" have serious shortcomings.
Besides, could we not also say:
"Al Gore: climate expert or biased, very wealthy, publicity-seeking, book-selling activist? You make the call."
Nicely penned, Barbara Kay!
One of the biggest side effects of "global warming" is a Stalinist repression of non-believers in the scientific community.
He wasn't successful, because he was inaccurate and misleading. He got publicity, that's all (mainly from climate change skeptics). Maybe he wants publicity for being wrong (and to sell books about his fiction where he demonstrates that he's wrong) -- that's his prerogative.
PING! You're going to love this thread.

Mr. Miyagi? Wax on, wax off.
I'd like to hear what happened. Is there a link for the audio?
Most confusing statement of the entire thread,
Unless of course, you are attempting to agree with both sides of the issue.
The article states that he "stormed out of the interview." Well, not exactly. He finished the interview but he was extremely angry for having been questioned. It really was like someone had questioned his religious beliefs. One could imagine him yelling "Heresey!!" He also said some truly chilling things during the interview like "Canadians will cough up the money (for Kyoto) if someone will show some leadership..." I really encourage people to listen to this interview.
A bit of personal analysis. Having lived in Germany for 14 years....there is a vast number of Germans who are absolutely uneducated beyond their high school "dump" of information. They rely heavily upon news organizations to inform them and to "know" the facts. Of course...the state-run media has taken a global warming position...so over 90 percent of the German population take that position. So when they want to engage in a "debate"...and I bring the top ten myths of global warming...they stand there and try to repeat what the TV host said...and I start tearing the argument apart for them. They usually come to a point of asking how I am so informed...and I simply respond that like most Americans...I refuse to accept information at face value. I read through alot of different publications and web sites. They don't.
As you look across the American population...the same situation exists there. People are picking up the publications and asking stupid questions. The global warming hawks now face a crowd who ask questions that can't be answered.
Adding to this entire episode is the necessity to tax people on invisible "weapons"...my favorite topic with Germans. For gamers out there...who must have a certain weapon...they are willing to spend cash on things which do not exist. When you examine the entire Kyoto treaty...its based totally on invisible "weapons" and giving money to someone to have their "weapons". In economics 101...you are taught a simple concept...a fool and his money are soon parted. This concept works well in today's environment. If you accept the idea of paying people for invisible "weapons"...then you might as well give up on your pension, your dreams, and settle back for the US being a third-world banana republic. I can't see myself or most of the American population taking that stand....
Real Climate -- Climate Science from Climate Scientists, links notable for two glaring ommisions...
The first, the disclaimer that,
" The contributors to this site do so in a personal capacity during their spare time and their posts do not represent the views of the organizations for which they work, nor the agencies which fund them. The contributors are solely responsible for the content of the site and receive no remuneration for their contributions."
In other words, anonymous individual opinions.
More importantly, there is a breathtaking lapse in that the Climate Scientists contributing to that blog are not identified. Al Gore calls himself a "climate scientist". How seriously are we to take their anonymous contributions if they won't (or can't) even identify themselves?
A site like that should have the confidence to identify all the contributors by name.
Absent that, their jabber has no more authority for me than pro and con civilians here on FR discussing climate change.
Finally, linking to isolated remarks by anonymous authors without providing the complete context of the remarks is dissimulation in the extreme, and simply more background noise in the discussion.
Pearls before swine, bump.
